Abstract
We present an in-depth review of the general problem of Fock-state wavepackets interacting with arbitrary quantum optical systems. By going beyond the typical open quantum system setting in which the excitations are either produced within the quantum system or the system is driven by a coherent light source, here we have focused on the traveling wavepackets with definite photon numbers that are initially constructed from the mode profile ...
